Lucy Orta’s meal in Plymouth on Saturday, October 31, was for about 75 people (25 people invite another two), cost around £12,000 and merged issues of sustainability and local food together with art and a sense of ‘community’. Dean Windass sat at the communal table to digest the evening for Arts+Culture
On the menu was spiced beetroot soup, wild sorrel pomme puree and wilted wild and seasonal greens, carragheen (seaweed) pudding, with shortbread and blackberry and apple compote, which was all very good.
But has the concept of the meal, served up for the 31st time in Plymouth, got a little stale?
Pop over to Arts+Culture to find out.
